Daily Devotion: If This Were the Day - by Greg Laurie – www.harvest.org You also must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when least expected. —Luke 12:40 https://harvest.org/resources/devotion/if-this-were-the-day/ - Listen I received a letter awhile ago from someone who was working at an abortion clinic in North Carolina. One day she was listening to A New Beginning on the radio when she heard me ask this question: If Christ were to come back tonight, are you doing anything you would be ashamed to be doing? Immediately she thought of what she did for a living. So she quit her job, and now she’s involved in pro-life work. Let’s say that Jesus was returning today. Would you be ready? Or, are you doing something you’d be ashamed to be doing if He were to come back? If so, you need to change that behavior. You need to be ready to go because you don’t know when Jesus will return. When I go on a trip, I always pack the night before. I’ll admit, however, that I tend to over pack because I want to have what I need for the trip. But I have everything on wheels now, so I can just drag it behind me. When Jesus said, “Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning” (Luke 12:35 NLT), He was saying, “Have your bags packed and your comfortable shoes on.” What if this were your last day on earth? Or what if this were the day that Christ came back? I know that I’m going to Heaven either through death or the Rapture. Both are fine with me. So periodically ask yourself, “This place I’m about to go, this thing that I’m ready to do, would I be ashamed or embarrassed if I were doing this when Jesus Christ returns?” If the answer to that question is yes, then stop doing those things. We need to be ready. We should live every day as though it were our last, because one day it will be.

9-16-23 Little-Known Prophecies of Christmas, Pt 3: Genesis 17:19

Little-Known Prophecies of Christmas, Pt 3: Genesis 17:19 :: By Paul J. Scharf Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles The Messiah was a descendant of Abraham. More than that, we considered last time how He was, in fact, promised within the covenant that God made with Abram (Gen. 12:1-3). According to the Apostle Paul in Gal. 3:16 and 19, He is the ultimate recipient of that covenant! Our Savior Jesus Christ is finally the One through whom “all the families of the earth shall be blessed” (Gen. 12:3). Paul also quoted and discussed that portion of the covenant in Gal. 3:8-9. We ended last time with the realization that the promised Messiah would be the final Davidic king over Israel. As declared then, however, there are several intermediate steps, with accompanying prophecies, which are given between the times of Abraham and David and speak about His coming and the offices He would hold as the greatest prophet, priest, and king. And there are also more ance

9-17-23 Christians Using Science Badly: Part 2

Christians Using Science Badly: Part 2 :: By Wilfred Hahn Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles, Wilfred Hahn Christians Using Science Badly: Part 2 :: By Wilfred Hahn Reviewing the “facts” that we cited in Part 1, we noted the hyperbole and downright dishonesty in some instances to support global warming claims. Why is there such bias? Money Precedes Truth Global warming has become big business. Armies of global consultants are peddling false information because it is profitable to do so. Many claimed urgencies are exaggerated by factors of 10X … indeed, 200X in some instances and more. Governments are particularly susceptible to this hype, promising infrastructure programs estimated to cost upwards of trillions of dollars. According to a new report,1 an estimated $3.4 trillion will be invested in renewable energy during the next decade, including $2.72 trillion in wind and solar. By 2030, 54.1% of installed capacity will be renewable (including hydropo

9-17-23 It's Coming

It Is Coming - By Daymond Duck - https://www.raptureready.com/2022/12/24/it-is-coming-by-daymond-duck/ On Dec. 17, 2022, it was reported that Rep. David Cicilline, a Democrat from Rhode Island, has introduced legislation to permanently bar former Pres. Trump from running for president again, and 40 Democrats have signed on. Cicilline is accusing Trump of orchestrating an insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021. At the time of this writing, it is debatable as to whether Cicilline’s legislation will get voted on before the new Congress takes office in 2023, but some conservatives have said from the beginning that the main purpose of the Jan. 6 fake show-trial was to stop Trump from being elected again. Some, including this writer, have said there is no telling what the U.S. shadow government will do to prevent making America great again (MAGA) because they want to surrender the sovereignty of the U.S. to the New World Order (coming world government). It was easy to see this comi
